Defoaming coating additives are also called anti-foaming agents and are used in industrial process liquids to reduce the formation of foam. These are special additives that are added to paints and/or coatings to enhance their performance and quality. Defoaming coating additives reduce the formation of macro foam on the surface and combat large air-entrapments, thus enhancing the quality of finished products.

On the basis of defoamer type, the market is segmented into silicone-based defoamer, mineral oil-based defoamer, vegetable oil-based defoamer, water-based defoamer, polymer-based defoamer, and others. The water-based defoamer segment is expected to account for the second-largest share of the defoaming coating additives market. It is projected to be the fastest-growing type segment of the defoaming coating additives market between 2016 and 2021. They are very cost-effective with considerable share of water in the final product though the final composition varies according to end user requirements. These factors are driving the growth of the water-based defoamer segment.
